24th of May started in a totally different mode than the days before: clear blue sky and sunshine with a warm wind from south-east. We broke up early for a visit to the Ring of Kerry and the Killarney National Park with the confluence hunt in the afternoon.

From a single track road south of Glenbeigh we found another small farm track leading to the northern shore of Lake Coomasaharn and we could park our car just 500 m east of 52N 10W.

Sheep were everywhere around, so Astrid had to stay with the dogs while I followed a path to a gate, giving access to the confluence hill. Only a 10 min. walk, patiently attended by the furry residents, and I got the zeroes on my receiver. Sitting down for a while on this beautiful sunny afternoon – a splendid view over the lake and a spot very easy to reach - never mind, Gordon….

And there was still more to come… At 3.30 pm we steered the car back through Glenbeigh and down to Rossbehy, a 4 km long peninsula of sand and dunes in the Dingle Bay (just 10 km north of the CP). A walk on this endless beach somewhere in the Atlantic ocean – a perfect conclusion of this beautiful confluence venture (with fish’n’chips and a Guinness later on, of course…).

This was the beginning of a period of 6 more sunny days in a row with temperatures up to +26°C – ideal conditions for our way north to Connemara and County Mayo to tackle further confluence challenges.
